Come one, come all...storytime with the Arcana
As the sun set it became rather apparent that it wasn't only the sun's rays that had lit up the Embassy so it seemed to glow. No, there was plenty of light of its own shining out of all of its windows of colored glass, making it a rather cheerful beacon in the night.
As Cards began to arrive, they'd find the interior just as cheerful. No decorations as if for a ball or anything like that but everything is gleaming in such a way as to suggest an army of servants whose only duty is to ensure there isn't a speck of dust anywhere in the building. Conveniently, there are indeed now servants there, moving about. Some are carrying trays of refreshments, light finger foods and fizzy punch. Some are ready at the doors to open them for their guests and guide them to the audience hall. None of them will strike any of the Deck's residents as familiar but it will make for a nice question as to how they managed to get several dozen people to the Embassy without anyone noticing until after they were settled in.
And of course, in the middle of it all, are the Arcana.
[ooc: Figured I'd let it go a bit with folk arriving and asking each other "wtf?" ;) and possibly greeting the Arcana themselves. Then I'll make a comment with a heading for Gustave shushing everybody and telling them the story of the Deck and the Arcana which folk can then react to and/or ask questions, etc. Cool? Cool. Also: please just assume Andromeda is around probably making sure the servants do their jobs as Rekla is hiatusing for the next several days.]
